I know many of you are regulars on Jon747's youtube account, but if you haven't seen this gem yet it's a must watch.
It opens with the SC:Legacy "First Contact" which I've seen before, but it was just as good the second time.
This features some amazing play by Yosh, Stork, Jaedong, Nal Ra and many other good foreigners and pros. Not to mention the "Best Game of 2009" which judging by the highlights of the game, I can say this is a correct statement. Chock-full of sick wraith/muta micro, insane nukes, crazy cheeses, some of the best damn rine and reaver micro I've seen, hallucinated arbiter recalls, and phenomenal video editing to make the experience just that much better.
Good compilation or best compilation?
By the way does anyone have a MYM account? I found the rep of the And[WHITE] vs Sasin)Armor game, but I don't wanna make a MYM account for one rep and I'd really like to see the whole replay. Here's the link "Best Game of 2009"
Not anywhere near the best. I'd call it mediocre. The problem with MooN is his videos could be about 10 minutes shorter if he didn't include all the uninteresting plays. Most of the time his effects are pretty good though, although sometimes they just make things worse. I mean, for a video called "Highlights 2009" he basically just chose typical fights that happen in 90% of all StarCraft games played... I know for a fact there were some really clever and intelligent moves this year.
Perhaps it's just me, but I like to see two players being very solid, while one does something very clever and although his opponent doesn't seem to make any obvious mistakes, he's defeated. I don't really care about wraiths killing helpless carriers. That was only clever in 1999 (and really it's just a result of the protoss fucking up).
The problem with the movies by MooN is that he's undoubtedly a very good technical producer, but he uses really annoying filters and adds in videos that really aren't that useful.
I don't know much about MooN, but Spitfire is undoubtedly my favorite movie maker. His White-Ra, WCG 2006, and WCG 2007 videos were amazing with great music and great effects, not to mention outstanding highlights. I wonder whatever happened to him?
I think I played that PvP battle as the uphill defender (at ~5:20 after Mio's TvZ loss), it seems like it isn't captioned...but the resemblance is really quite shocking to one of my games, even if it isn't that (I remember I wanted to build the gateway(hence the idle probe), and I did right after the battle happened exactly 100% like that...and I was at the same starting position too, it just can't be a coincidence. I wish I knew where the replay is lol, it should've been autosaved (must've been played a couple ICC seasons ago too).
I'm famous mum, look at me!
Clearly it's one of the worst / most uninteresting part of the video though, imo at least xD
i don't really like moon's videos. i think his effects are overused, cheesy, and take attention away from the actual content. comparing them to some of the older videos (old starleague highlights, dyo's pimpest play videos, dreiven highlights) shows a distinct difference in quality.
edit: also check out spitfire and xellos_pluto. those guys know how to highlight.
